Arc'teryx  Sentinel AR Jacket - Women's

I had a previous version of the sentinel in a size large but found it too big. For reference I am 5'7", 150lbs. The medium in the AR style is a perfect fit. I believe it has been updated. Its long (which was important to me) and loose enough for me to fit a warm puffy coat and other layers underneath. It perfectly attaches to my sentinel pants. My only complaint would be the powder skirt is slightly tight even when not done up. When its done up though its snug enough to keep the snow out. I got the Awestruck colour. Its definitely more peachy in person than the orange on the website, but I've received tons of compliments. And it looks great in the backcountry and makes me easy to spot!

The go to winter jacket! It is lightly lined with flannel and easy to layer. I use this jacket for touring, resort skiing, and sledding. It is breathable and has the pit vents so you can regulate your temperature throughout the day. I loved how this jacket performed in every condition all season!

Beautiful jacket, pairs nicely with puffer underneath. I wore this during a very cold ski weekend in northern Minnesota and it kept me warm. This jacket felt especially wind proof, and very lightweight for such a durable jacket. Would highly recommend. Hood fit over helmet for the windy chairlift rides.

Arc'teryx sizing follows more of the European model... where a traditional XL gets wider, not just longer than associated smaller sizes. I find the jacket to be flattering and functional on my size 14 frame... something that is nearly impossible among technical brands today. There is even appropriate room for a performance cold-weather layer underneath. For those wanting a slim fit, choose one of the "slim fit" options and those wanting a long fit, choose the longer jacket models. For the Arc'teryx team... thank you for keeping this traditional fit for those of us needing a bit more room and still wanting to layer and not desiring a longer jacket!

I love the jacket itself, and it's the third Arc'teryx ski jacket I've purchased. However, the colour is completely different than how it looks online. I wanted a navy jacket. They didn't carry the "Labyrinth" colour in store, but it looks navy so I ordered it online. However, once it arrived, I discovered the actual colour is a deep teal green and doesn't go at all with my ski pants. So PSA - "Labyrinth" is green, not navy. It'd be great if Arc'teryx started using descriptive colour names, rather than unrelated words that don't provide any information as to what the colour is. Or carried the full colour options in store.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my 3rd Arc'Teryx shell, I lost weight and had to downsize. The Sentinel AR still has plenty of room for layering. I like that I can adjust based on the weather with either a down puffy or fleece under. Super waterproof, you will not get wet even on the wettest snow days. The length is long, which I like. I do wish it came with a 2 way zipper because the jacket tends to pop out when sitting. I'd also love to see more jackets with a key ring in one pocket, preferably a locking one to make sure you don't lost your keys. Bonus: I sold my old jackets that were still in good shape back to Arc'Teryx and used that money to buy a new one! Great program to recycle used gear!

I was looking for a jacket I could wear skiing that had regular configuring hand pockets and was going to be durable but also breathable for touring. This fit all my requirements and looks great! I find I'm using it as my regular jacket as well since it's not as crunchy as a lot of my other ones. The cknit is fabulous. Of you run hot through, the lining might add a bit too much warmth for you. I also love that its on the longer side, it gives great coverage.

I despair with technical gear makers and the lack of options in petite sizing. Women under 5’3” do engage in technical sports, but are doomed to shop in kids sections or look like a kid wearing their parents clothes. I am 5’1” (w/ a regular, 1-1/2” ape index, ie not short arms) and the arms of the Sentinel fall a full 1” beyond my fingertips. There is no way to pull on gloves and manage all that extra sleeve length. And rather than lying smoothly on my chest, the front of the jacket pooches out awkwardly by 3-4” beneath my bust line. If you are short and in anyway athletically built - try before you buy. (And please note Arcteryx, women can be “petite” *and* athletic).

I love this jacket. I'm 5'7 so the longer length is great for keeping my back and bum warm and dry. I like the long sleeves too as they fit well over my ski gloves. I like the solid Labyrinth color with the lighter zips, though this was the only color I liked from the choices. It does make it harder to spot me on the mountain but the darker color is more practical (doesn't show the dirt etc). I skied in the rain and never felt damp or cold. I wore the Cerium LT Hoody in Whisky Jack underneath and love the color combo with the Labyrinth Sentinel. First time wearing Arcteryx and I'm converted :)

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) Bought this jacket at the beginning of the ski season and so happy I did. I wanted a longer jacket for the ski resort and something with a little bit of insulation rather than just a shell. Got a size bigger than I usually get to be able to layer it for colder days. Love the fit and all the features on this jacket. I get lots of compliments on it.
